Read Bio Tim Clark Tim Clark is a British comedian, writer and presenter on both television and radio. For more than 20 years, Clark has been building a reputation for himself on the comedy scene. Working as a compère, he has hosted shows throughout the country. In January 1990 he introduced the first 'Pillar Talk' show at the Pillar Room in the Cheltenham Town Hall,[2] a venue which has seen some of the top acts in the UK including Simon Pegg, Mark Lamarr, Bill Bailey and Frank Skinner. Clark was on hand to witness one of the crazier moments in Jim Jefferies' career. The Australian comic was on stage at the Comedy Store, Manchester when he was attacked by a heckler. As well as touring with Frank Skinner, Clark has toured extensively throughout Europe (including Kosovo and Bosnia) and in Asia. In 1995, he became the first western comic to perform in Beijing, China. He is now a regular compère with Comedy Store and Jongleurs. At the 2002 Edinburgh Fringe, Clark performed his one-man drama, "Talking to Ted". Playing the role of a less than stellar comedian he tries to come to terms with his cocaine habit and how he's going to explain to his wife about the Welsh mistress which has now given him a son. His only companion he can talk to is the teddy bear his daughter left in the car. Fiona Stuges reviewed the show in The Independent praising Clark as "a revelation. <He> has a strong feel for human frailty and performs with acute intelligence. For that, he shouldn't be overlooked." The show was broadcast on 7 July 2004 on BBC Radio 4 with Les Dennis taking up the main role. He later returned to Edinburgh in 2006 with the Fringe First production of What I Heard About Iraq. Based on the Eliot Weinberger article and using direct quotes and statistics from the people and events that surrounded the war on Iraq, each member of the production take turns to say 'What I heard about Iraq'. Clark gave a 'powerful performance' and the reviewer ended by saying the play 'is likely to become one of the Fringe's most talked about shows, and rightly so'

Read Bio George Day Our eponymous poet hails from Bristol, UK, having moved to China shortly after completing his Art degree. His multidisciplinary background has taken him around the country performing on stage for over ten years. A blithe bravado with ballsy banter, he has appeared on numerous TV shows and was involved in the 2013 Chinese Spring Festival Gala. In 2011, he performed at the BRICS & BFA Forum opening ceremony in front of eight heads of state and China’s Hu Jintao. Our returning poet will be reciting two poems on the St George’s Day Charity Dinner marking two historical anniversaries- William Shakespeare died four hundred years ago to the day, and fifty years ago the English football team lifted a trophy.
